Happy Winter Solstice!

As I sat and pondered a while - not the least, how my bike got into that position - but also about whether winter would ever come calling this year, whether anyone can really complain about seventy degree days in the middle of December, where John's Saturday morning group was, and about the annual turn toward the light and longer days, I finally gave up and decided it was better to just keep riding. 

Happy Winter Solstice Everyone!

coming down one trail, and topping a little rise only to discover that the maintenance crew had pilled cut shrubbery across the the trail - how rude! Noticing the deeper skids in the dirt, I think some riders may have been carrying more speed than i was - mountain biking, it keeps you on your toes, and your reflexes sharp.
